Ppis
Ppis
Mode of action
Irreversibly inactivate the hydrogen/potassium ATPase enzyme system (proton pump), suppressing both stimulated
and basal acid secretion. When PPIs are stopped, acid secretion is restored by synthesis of new hydrogen/potassium
ATPase.
Indications
• Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD)
• H. pylori eradication, as part of an effective regimen treatment of gastric Ulcer
• Prevention of peptic ulcer and short term treatment of upper GI symptoms associated with NSAIDs
• Dyspepsia
• Zollinger–Ellison syndrome
• Scleroderma oesophagus.
Specific considerations
• Gastric carcinoma: exclude before starting treatment for gastric ulcers; PPIs may mask symptoms and delay
diagnosis.
• Hepatic impairment: Risk of accumulation when higher doses are used; monitor for adverse effects; dosage
adjustment not usually required.
• Surgery: Continue treatment perioperatively.
• Pregnancy: Avoid use, ranitidine preferred; ADEC category B3.
• Breastfeeding: Safe to use; all are acid labile; small amount in milk is likely to be destroyed by acid in infant’s
stomach.
Adverse effects
Infrequent: rash, itch, flatulence, constipation, decreased absorption of cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) may occur with
long term use.
Rare: confusion, agitation, aggression, arthralgia, agranulocytosis, PPIs are generally well tolerated. gynaecomastia,
myalgia, interstitial nephritis, raised liver enzymes, hepatitis, jaundice, thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, erythema
multiforme, Stevens–Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, hypersensitivity reactions.
